      On March 19 and 26, the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art is hosting the Gwaii Haanas Speaker Series.

      On March 19, 2 pm, David Dixon shares personal stories from his 11-year career working in Gwaii Haanas as a Haida Gwaii Watchman.

      On March 26, 2 pm, the gallery hosts a discussion of the troupe of Haida elders who made a stand against clearcutting on Athlii Gwaii (Lyell Island) in 1985, which caused the government to establish the Gwaii Haanas Park Reserve/Haida Heritage Site in 1987.

      Admission to both talks is included with gallery admission or membership.
